+## Customization
 
-### Optional manual overrides
+Everforest Night uses static theme files and does not auto-generate large override blocks in `settings.json`.
+To customize colors, use VS Code's built-in per-theme override keys.
 
-You can still add extra VS Code overrides in `settings.json` using the theme name keys.
-Prefer using `everforestNight.*` for managed palette behavior and use manual overrides for additional tweaks.
